The Scheduler App allows you to work with events, actions, and conditions.

Event types

The BMS Platform is familiar with different types of events:

• time events: are triggered by a temporal event
• conditional events: are triggered if a given condition is met

Time Events

Depending on the application you can choose between three types of time events:

• One-time event: an action is executed at a specific time
• Start-stop event: a time period specified by its start and end time. An action can be executed when the event starts and when it ends.
• Cyclical event: a time period specified by its start and end time. An action can be executed when the event starts, when it ends. During that period an action is executed periodically at a given time interval.

Conditional Events

For a conditional event the specified condition is monitored. An action can be executed 

• if the condition goes from false to true: the condition was not met previously and a change of an input lead to the condition being met.
• if the condition goes from true to true: the condition was met previously and a change of an input did not change that.
• if the condition goes from true to false: the conditon was met previously and a change of an input lead to the condition being no longer met.
